Patrick Winter -Trump says he stopped airstrike on Iran because 150 would have died

Summary:
Is it good cop - bad cop, or is there a tug of war in the Whitehouse? Donald Trump has said he cancelled an airstrike on Iran with 10 minutes to go because it would not have been proportionate to kill 150 people in retaliation for the downing of an unmanned US drone. “We were cocked & loaded to retaliate last night on 3 different sights when I asked, how many will die,” the US president tweeted on Friday. “150 people, sir, was the answer from a General. 10 minutes before the strike I stopped it, not … proportionate to shooting down an unmanned drone.” The Guardian Patrick Winter -Trump says he stopped airstrike on Iran because 150 would have died
